Anyone who has been to camp or been watching closely, what happened to this guy? Is he doing well? I can honestly say I think we've discussed every player on this site including that camp punter we let go, yet we have not talked about Schobel once. This guy is supposed to be our #1 pass rusher and I havent heard anything positive on him. Maybe I missed something, but anyone whos been to camp, can you tell me if this guy is still alive?

He was the best DE in his draft class that we got in the 2nd round. That was a steal.

If Schobel only recorded double digit sacks once I may tend to agree with you, but to do it three times on a team with no other pass rush threats suggests it is more then luck.
In any event, the Bills have far more pressing issues then worrying about Schobel in preseason.

Schobel is in the Top 5 in sacks over the last 3 years. You don't get that by accident.

Re: Schobel
This year, he needs help from the DT's who are supposed to be able to shoot gaps! The Bills must be more aggressive with the push up the middle, and that will help Aaron Schobel out as much, if not more than pressure from Denney/ Kelsay!

Re: Schobel
A lot of Schobel's sacks last yeat were coverage sacks. He is not dominant enough to be considered among the best even if his stats show it. The difference between him and Freeney is that if Freeney doesnt get the sack he almost has which is sometimes enough to disrupt the play. Schobel is too inconsistent.

I mean, Schobel isn't as good as all these other DE's and all of his sacks are "coverage sacks" If these guys were that much better then him then they should be able to get all these coverage sacks too.

Re: Schobel
The new defensive scheme will allow Schobel's sack totals to increase.
But it may also take him out of the play a lot more.
